[news.software.b] 2.11 + NNTP status?

bob%tut.cis.ohio-state.edu@osu-eddie.UUCP (Bob Sutterfield) (07/19/87)

The last I recall hearing, the `NNTP suite' (nntpd,  rrn, and friends)
had not yet been made to work correctly with News 2.11.  I want to get
osu-eddie and other local systems up to current snuff, but we're still
at 2.10.3 because many  users use rrn  and I plan  to set up  Internet
NNTP news feeds soon.  We're  about  to add a  bunch (200) of new Suns
and new Sun users and I'd rather do the upgrade sooner than later.

Have I missed any announcements?  Can I get a new version via FTP?

Both NNTP V1.3 and V1.4 BETA work fine with News 2.11 (patchlevel 8).  I'm
pretty sure any version of News at 2.10.3 or later is OK.  I'm running NNTP
under Ultrix V1.2 & V2.0 using both TCP/IP and DECnet.
